During the first half of Season 5 filming, Noah had a boyfriend. One day, the boyfriend showed up on set to visit Noah and cheer him up (due to some shady stuff happening on set). Finn saw them together.
The boyfriend started to sense a strange energy between Finn and Noah, and noticed that Finn was being far too clingy and overall weird around Noah and him
Noah tells him it’s because they are close friends who have been through ups and downs together since they were literal babies (Something traumatic happened to Noah on set that Finn witnessed and helped him through) However, he keeps the fact that Finn and him hooked up a secret from his bf
Something happens (cheating, cough cough, is Finn a homewrecker??) and Noah and his bf break up. On June 14, Noah goes to a club in NYC and gets terribly wasted, he's so drunk that he ends up being kicked out and landing in the tabloids

Finn and Noah started going to dinner in Atlanta after that. They also hung out with other cast members, and even with Finn's older brother, Nick (Along with Joe Keery)
They were together during that time, and Noah made a playlist for Finn (August 2024). It was confirmed that Finn listened to it, Sabrina, Chappell Roan (Making him listen to CASUAL is crazy work Noah 💀)
To celebrate Noah’s birthday, the group (Finn, Noah, Sadie, Caleb, Gaten, and Joe) attends a Charli XCX and Troye Sivan SWEAT Tour concert
Noah went to the theater to see Saturday Night because of the small role Finn had in the movie. (I noticed an interesting detail: Noah’s Letterboxd says he watched it on October 10, one day before it hit theaters... He saw a earlier limited showing, BOYFRIEND’S PRIVILEGE)
Noah also left a review on his letterboxd that he went FOR FINN. You can check it out!
More lore to this but I’m tired, go check on twt and tumblr yourself

THE FAMOUS ATLANTAGATE: During the filming of S5, there were several sightings of them going out to fancy restaurants. One had a strict dress code. Mind you, Atlanta is a city where celebs who want to keep their AFFAIRS UNDER THE RADAR go
They were spotted during the Vol. 2 press tour eating at a private restaurant.
And they have been a thing for so long even all the cast knew about it, and even some crews were always side eyeing and acting nasty with them and one time, Noah and Finn were late to Paris Con to have breakfast together at Noah’s en-suite before leaving to the con
